[nc-str] Draft report on ALSC V 4
Rita, thanks for your comments.
New draft
I have amended the draft report to accommodate these and
attach v4 as follows:
- new bullet on ALSC "expressions of interest"
- new text under recommendation 4.
I have also re-formulated recommendation 4 (the threshold
membership of ALSC) to create an order of magnitude by setting a rationale
leading to a high threshold like 30,000 and Dave Farrar's rationale leading to a
low threshold of 1000. I propose the TF agrees that the correct figure lies
between these two but says no more than that.
Comments on gTLD questions
1. The TF agrees we are making recommendations on a moving
target but to be pragmatic decided to evaluate each proposed change against the
status quo. Anything else leads to a matrix of possibilities that would be
meaningless to evaluate.
2. You propose that the ALSO has its own policy formulation
and that a second new structure (an ALSO - DNSO inter-organisation is created).
This seems to add bureaucracy. The reasoning behind your proposal is that the
interests of the ALSO membership will be more closely aligned than with DNSO
interests. Surely this is not so. ALSO members will include the same
people/organisations as the user constituencies of the DNSO (BC, non-coms,IPC).
To have two sets of policy discussions from the same groups would seem to build
in disfunctionality.
